High recycled content in our textile flooring

On average, we can claim the highest percentage of recycled content by weight in the industry for our carpet tiles, up to as high as 56%. For our Coral textile solutions we use Econyl: yarns which are sourced from waste fishing nets rescued from the oceans. The yarns are made from 100% regenerated material. Our modular Flotex backings are made with recycled PVC.

Entrance flooring

Keeping floors clean makes them last longer

Forbo Flooring Coral in Krommenie is the factory where we produce the Coral entrance products. Well-designed entrance floors not only offer a sustainable solution in and of themselves, but they also contribute to the sustainability of the building in which they are used, throughout the life cycle of that building.

Our entrance floor covering can stop up to 95% of dirt from being walked into the building. In this way, entrance flooring can protect the quality of an interior, lengthen the use of a floor and cut down on cleaning and maintenance costs and the use of detergents. We use yarns that are upcycled from old fishing nets for a large number of our Coral collections. The primary backing of our Coral Welcome entrance flooring is made from recycled PET bottles.

Flotex - hygienic, cleanable, durable

Cleanability and durability lengthens the life of the floor, which is better for the environment

Both hygienic and washable, Flotex nylon carpet is an example of the type of innovation that opens up new segments for textiles. Not only in hospitality, leisure spaces and offices, but also in healthcare facilities, schools and public buildings.

In our factory in Ripley, we produce Flotex sheet and tiles. In 2001 we almost completely eliminated our use of landfill by installing the first recycling plant of its kind to convert pre-consumer waste into high performance carpet tile backing. Today this facility processes nearly 50 tons of waste a week.

In our factory in Chateau Renault, we produce our digitally printed collections like Flotex Vision and the 'created by' collaborations with famous designers. Our factory in Chateau Renault holds two digital printers which print the bespoke designs. In this factory we produce when we get the order, so no unnecessary stock is held and therefore no landfill of old collections is being created.
